Predictions view

After launching NovaCloud Services, two views become available. The first of these is NovaCloud Services, which is used to log in and launch a setup wizard for NovaFold, NovaFold Antibody, or NovaDock predictions. Once a prediction has been started, you can monitor its progress and download its eventual output from the Predictions view.

Note that some licenses allow predictions to be run in batches of five predictions at a time, with additional predictions placed in a queue. If you have a limited number of licenses, predictions will only be run until you run out of licenses. For example, if you have three licenses remaining and attempt to run five predictions, only the first three predictions will actually be run.
